Great Blue Heron

So I settled on a Great Blue Heron my reasons were many symbolism,beauty,gracefulness but most importantly when I stuck a big piece of square timber in between the wings trying to visualize what body should go in between, the answer was oh so clear. The position I chose was in flight but coming in for a landing or soon after taking off. Why is this important you ask? When in flight the long neck of the heron is folded back close to they body and as you can see the neck is extended which is commonly seen when coming in for a landing or taking off. I still have some work to do some detail sanding and texturing deciding whether I should put legs on it and of course putting a finish on it. I think it needs to be hung from the ceiling with monofilament line when finished to allow it to keep its fluidity. Keep tuned in for the finished product.
